Abdel Nader is currently the only Egyptian player in NBA . The second in history after Alaa Abdelnaby in the 90s . His target now is to play for the Egyptian national team . An objective which makes him anxious .

“I am really anxious to join the team hopefully the summer of 2021 after a series of unfortunate events for three years that didn’t let me able to join the team. I will make sure to bring my best of abilities for the qualifying games next summer” he revealed .

In his childhood , Nader was fan of soccer . A dream he failed to achieve because of the Basket culture of America . Especially in Chicago . But he still loves soccer and watches sometimes games in such away that he has favourite players .
